Biography
I’m Miguel Baptista an independent Motion Designer, currently living in Lisbon, Portugal. I started my journey through the "Motion Design Universe" while I was in college. My first experiments consisted of creating and exploring audiovisual content for VJing and small indoor sculptures, using projection mapping techniques.
Working in different environments (agency, studios and tech companies) during my professional career, I came across great professionals and several challenging projects that gave me opportunity to broaden my knowledge across similar fields regarding motion design — 2D animation, character animation, interaction design/animation and even AR/VR.
Now, I'm freelancing full time, from Lisbon to all over the world. Commited and focused on my work, I like to be involved in a project since its planning and conceptual phase to the final product.
